Can't say I've tried goggles, but I f***ing hate my masks to high hell because of the lack of ventilation.
Edit: The term is optometrist.

- If you wear full blown goggles, get the Revision Locust Fan or the Smith OTW Fan. There's really no reason not to.
For face protection:
I recently ran a game wearing a North 5500 after removing the filters and one-way valve. - Breathing was not an issue for me. It didn't breathe as well as a mesh mask, but it never felt hard to breathe, even after sprinting.
- It does build up condensation like crazy, but it never felt uncomfortable. It's just kinda gross to dump out the condensed water after.
- I had noticeably fewer fogging problems than if I wasn't wearing it, particularly when my nose seal was good. I think that it's because it vents your breaths away down and to the side, so away from your eyes.
- Looks way cooler than a mesh mask

Thanks for the replies. I have an optometrist appointment soon so I should probably chat with my doctor about what she knows about this.
Running a respirator? Looks like anarchy! Thats actually really cool but not exactly what I'm going for. Thanks for the eye pro suggestions as well, I will take that into consideration.
